31 Days Of Yoga!


31 Days Of Yoga!

OK. So it's 30 Days of Yoga on the Yoga With Adriene YouTube channel. But Hey. I'm a glutton for bliss. I'm gonna keep going! This makes it day 31 for me. Trying my hand and 60 days of yoga. I'm going to see if I can make it to 1 year. Of course not all my posts will be about yoga even though I might make occasional mention to how my practice is going and what day I'm on. I'm gonna diversify and talk about my crystals, where I am in my healing journey and of course talk about my life passions. I invite anyone who's reading to make comments below this post and share with me your own personal healing journey, passions, and loves -- what makes you hunger for life and what gives you unadulterated bliss!

For me it was performing last night on my birthday with Larry Vuckovich a world renown pianist who has played with jazz greats such as Elvin Jones, Dexter Gordon and Mel Torme. Yours truly got to sing one of his favorite tunes "Serenade In Blue" written by composed by Harry Warren, with lyrics written by Mack Gordon. It was a song made famous by Glenn Miller's Big Band and I got to be that singer -- the one who's hand get's kissed like a proper damsel by Vuckovich himself. It was an honor and a definite "marker" in my life as a singer and musician. I also was offered by an amazing percussionist Leonel Hernandez to have my own band of amazing musicians to sing a selection of rare arrangements of jazz standards. I performed that evening with The City College of San Francisco's Jazz Improvisational Ensemble led by my mentor and Professor David Hardiman Jr. and MC'd by David Hardiman Senior who started the jazz program at the college. It was a remarkable evening! And I know that from here on out, not matter what's in store, I have to power to choose how I want to react to any situation, "bad" or "good" news and that I have to power to make my biggest dreams a reality!
